I was born and raised in the sleepy South Bay of Los Angeles. Throughout school I was constantly drawing on scratch paper, the margins of my homework, and pretty much everything else. In the late nineties, I took to video games and fell in love with them. I imagined a career where I could combine my artistic talent and games.
I got my Bachelor of Science in Game Art and Design, but when it came down to it, the game industry wasn't for me. Today, I make my living building websites and with whatever illustration work comes my way.
My wife and I live in Los Angeles, California with our cat Rocko. We make a podcast called I'll Show You Mine. She shows me movies I've never seen and I show her games she's never played. It's our way of introducing each other to one another's formative media memories.
